Oxford United are unbeaten since the last international break.

It would be surprising if anyone had predicted it prior to the game against Middlesbrough, but even the manner of the three results was startling.

A 1-1 draw with Boro was a good start before an identical score line away at Norwich City. The manner of each draw could not have differed more drastically though, with the impressive point against the Teesiders preceding an underwhelming one at Carrow Road.

With the U's then in the relegation zone, they shocked the league to defeat Ipswich Town, a side many have tipped for promotion.

A lot to take in, then, but even more so, a lot to take away.

The tremendous victory over Ipswich and the draw with Boro are not the only times United have stolen points from some of this season's big hitters.........
